Column: Clintons, not Trump, should be under investigation

While sexual allegations at the national level has taken a “breaking news” course on cable television networks some channels remain fixed on their war charts attacking or mocking President Donald Trump.

Like at liberal leaning CNN where the network posted a special program focused on late night shows where the hosts entertain their anti-Trump audience with mockery for laughs.

But they hardly make mention that the economy picture for 2018 is on the path to a great boost and more importantly in job creations. That’s real news.

There’s no denying Trump invites some of the rumblings about his presidential mode, but let’s be fair and square he won the presidency as a grassroots candidate. He said what he wanted and never gave a thought at being politically correct.

That’s why he beat out 15 other GOP hopefuls in the primary races and booted Hillary Clinton out of his path to the White House.

In his first year as president Trump has been under attack on a daily basis, even by some Establishment Republicans who have opposed his health care and tax bills.

Trump may be crude in his style, but he wasn’t elected to be a politically correct compromising president.

Compromising sounds good but it simply means each side getting what it wants at taxpayers expense,

Which takes us back to the daily report of sexual assaults and harassment on the national level. Hollywood and the entertainment field not excluded.

Its been reported that thousands of taxpayer dollars have been spent to settle sexual allegation claims against congressional staffs and under cloak for years from the public.

While Special Counsel Robert Mueller keeps looking for Russians in the Haystack, he should expand his search to reveal which congressional staffs — House and Senate — used taxpayer dollars to cover their misdeeds.

But enough on the latest D.C. drumbeats.

As for Mueller’s escapade to find a Russian link to Trump, he’ll stay on the course till he finds a “Marushka” doll . . . or whatever.

If he truly cares about law and order at the highest level he should expand to include the Clintons. Not for the former president’s folly with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, but his and Hillary’s roles in the growing Uranium One scandal.

As then secretary of state, Hillary Clinton could have blocked the uranium deal with Vladimir Putin. And so could have President Barack Obama.

Mueller could also ask Obama what he was referring to when he was overheard on an open mic telling a Russian translator to tell Putin he could be “more flexible” after the election.

Yes there’s more. After the uranium deal was cleared by a governing committee, a Russian tycoon donated several million rubles to the Clinton Foundation and then the former president went to Moscow to deliver a $500,000 speech.

Meanwhile Trump is not about to bow or apologize to any foreign state for his “America First” credo.

That’s why middle Americans in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan tipped the electoral college presidency to his favor.

Someone should tell Hillary “what happened.”
